i've been watching you
giving up all of the things you had
i was lost amid the foothills too
i fled higher to this precious land
the air is rich and soil is fertile
so give me your hand -
even if you forget me in a moment's time,
you'll be fine
for paradise you're moving slow
cross precipice and frozen snow
keep moving you ahead - keep moving
remember when you last saw yourself clearly
asking why you hated getting up early
don't be led astray, keep moving your own way
there's a love, a sacrifice
haunted by this bad advice
given time, the heart will wilt
and heal itself with what it will
letters, songs and bits of string
don't let any hatred in
always making references
to passages of books you read
reaching out into the dark
settling for hope instead
only let go of the flat line,
only let go to find a foothold
old horizon
lazy weekends crowd the streets
behind the curtains you can see
taking all your time away
but you can't relate

cold stone
hello again, old friends
lifelong for some
but not for this one
years go by and still i can't die
something here is keeping me alive
she said the magic never fades away
but neither does the pain

our hearts are far too beautiful to let them go to waste
cut us open and you'll find that only love remains
there is hope in every one of us that radiates
and in the darkness i can find you by the light you make

Sister

bright moon,
is this what you meant?
can i be bettered by this terror?
is this helping...?
would you visit me again?
reassure me
'cause god i need to hear your voice
wake me up
oh sister
if you could see me, at a distance
the strength in my grip
but not the tears in my eyes
no, you can never see me suffer
and tear this masquerade asunder
glimpse the child beneath the pain that i am under
...
oh sister
pick me up
you've braved monsters -
what's a little water?
oh sister
please hurry up
that rushing sound
growing louder and louder now

cxdr recommends:
this album has been my life support over the last several years. screaming along to 'no past lives' has gotten me through more hard times than i can count
go to album
the most magical encapsulation of loss and hope. an otherworldly filter over painfully human expression
go to album
the definitive soundtrack to existential terror. emotionally excruciating in its rawness and relatability. the worry, the wonder...
